While I favor guys finishing, ESPN can get for making comments about it. They are the ones who are influencing the entire industry.
They absolutely are with FSU. They want ratings, so the pick was Bama. None of those guys opt out if they are in the playoffs.I don’t disagree they’ve changed the market. But ESPN isn’t making the players opt out. Front runner culture within a program does that. “We’re in the playoffs or we all quit” isn’t on ESPN.
Think this is a very simplistic way to think about it. Most are opting out to prepare for their next step in their career or they have hit to portal to a better opportunity. Dont think many are just quitting for the sake of quitting because they didnt get in the playoffs. JMOI don’t disagree they’ve changed the market. But ESPN isn’t making the players opt out.
